I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm cool
I didn't make it surely, playin' by the rules
I've come of heart, baby, but now I'm fine
I'm checkin' trouble, sure movin' down the line
I've come of heart, baby, but that's ok
'Cause trouble man don't get in my way

I've come of heart, baby, I've been for real, baby
Gonna keep movin', gonna roll to town
I've come of heart, come on, get down
There's only three things, they're for sure - Taxes, death and trouble
This I know, baby, this I know, child
Yeah, let the sweat through you, baby

Get me singin', yeah, yeah, ooo

I've come of heart, baby, I had to fight
Took him on madness with all my might
I've come of heart, I had to win
Then start all over and then again
I've come of heart, but that's ok
'Cause trouble man don't get in my way, hey, hey

I've heard some places and I've seen some places
I've never had tensions, I give my directions
When people say, that's ok, they don't bother me
I'm ready to make it, don't care 'bout the weather
Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together
No laughin', no cryin', protection that's all around me

I've come of heart, baby, I've been for real, baby
With the trouble man, movin', goin' tight
I've come of heart, a come on, get down
There's only three things for sure - taxes, death and trouble
Oh, this I know, baby, this I know, baby
Hey now, let it sweat you, baby - oh no baby

Ooh, I've come of heart, but now I'm cool
I didn't make it, baby, playin' by the rules
Come of heart, baby, now I'm fine
Checkin' trouble, sure, hey, movin' down the line
